IPX Routing

Enabling IPX Routing

Configuring IPX for the
LAN
add dns server <domain name> primary_address <ip address>
secondary_address <ip address>
To create an entry that will learn addresses using PPP, use the command:


add dns server <domain name> vc <vc name>
To display the contents of the DNS Server table, use the command:


list dns servers
To delete a domain entry, use the command:


delete dns server <domain name>
The OfficeConnect Remote 812 can be configured as an IPX router to forward IPX
packets between the local LAN interface and one or more remote sites. A
forwarding table is maintained which specifies which interface to route an IPX
packet based on the destination IPX network number. Entries into the forwarding
table are both static and dynamic. Static entries are based on the LAN's network
number, the remote site WAN interface number, and user configured static
routes. Dynamic entries are added when RIP is enabled and routes are learned
from neighboring routers.
To configure IPX routing, IPX must be defined on both the LAN interface and one
or more remote sites. On the LAN, an IPX network must exist with a specified IPX
network number. On the remote sites, IPX forwarding needs to be enabled, and
the WAN interface address need to be configured. The WAN interface can be
Unnumbered (set to 0), Numbered, or dynamically learned if PPP is used.
Remember to save your configuration using the save all command before
rebooting your OfficeConnect Remote 812 so that your changes will be written to
permanent FLASH memory.
Unlike IP, there is no setting on the OfficeConnect Remote 812 that enables or
disables IPX routing functionality on a global basis.
To configure IPX over the LAN you need to assign an IPX network to the LAN port
with the add ipx network command. Each network has a name. You will use the
name when entering commands related to the network.
add ipx network <network name>
address <ipx network address>

You can obtain a list of all configured networks using the command list
networks. To only list IPX networks, use list ipx networks.
By default, the network is enabled when it is created. You can disable the


network using the following command:
disable ipx network <network name>
